Singaporean: *approaches hawker stall* can I have one chicken rice without chicken?
#alright alright#i know asians are stereotyped to like rice#but if you’ve never tried fragrant chicken rice#you have no right to say that#i swear this dish is a universal treasure#if you’ve never tried jasmine rice cooked with chicken stock#ginger#garlic#and chives#you haven’t lived long enough#you haven’t journeyed long enough#out of all the meals i’ve eaten so far#michelins#mediterranean#chinese#indian#japanese#turkish#chicken rice stands out the most#in some parts of malaysia there are stalls dedicated to selling the rice alone#there’s a reason why a humble chicken rice hawker stall got michelin stars here#and it’s cheap af!#$2 for a michelin meal#tell me that ain’t worth it
